A Comparative Study of the Syntactic & Morphological Errors of Iranian EFL Learners with Reference to Persian as Their First Language Since the term Error analysis was given unprecedented significance in the late sixties, as a reaction to CA, a number of studies in the field of second language learning have addressed this unusual phenomenon because of the wide ranging implications that this area of research has for explaining the nature of human language faculty and the process of language acquisition in general. Although over the years, each particular aspect of EA has been examined by different scholars, a lot more is needed to extract different kinds of errors and to analyze them scientifically. This research study was an attempt to examine the notion of error as a deciding area in the field of second language acquisition and the major causes for making errors across learners and analyzing their major syntactic problems categorizing the errors and estimating the frequency of each group of errors according to previous scientific measures. This study was particularly aimed at identifying the sources of syntactical errors of Iranian English learners and illustrating the role of mother tongue interference as the basic source of errors in this study. The performance data was gathered from a subject pool consisting of 250 learners from a more or less the same background learning English as their foreign language who attended TOLIMO, which is a test for Ph.D. applicants in Iran. In this study, different pattern of syntactic morphological errors, their frequency of occurrence and the overall shapes of error production curves were analyzed across a particular group of participants who attended TOLIMO Test to reflect the sources of their errors. Since the field of EA has a greater capacity for revealing the learners' system of errors, it is crucial to uncover this system in order to discover and explain the problems of ESL/EFL learners. A detailed study of the factors leading to errors would be a fruitful avenue to pursue for insights into the nature of learners' linguistic system providing us with clues to a deeper understanding of the acquisition process. So far, the aim has been to show how interference of mother tongue and intralingul effects are responsible for commitment of some syntactic errors in the writings of Iranian EFL learners. A lot more longitudinal studies will be needed to examine not only syntactic but orthographic, phonological, morphological and lexical errors of EFL/ESL learners.

یونس فریدی احوال و آثار

یونس فریدی: احوال و آثار
مکمل نام: محمد یونس
قلمی نام: یونس ؔفریدی
تخلص: یونس ؔ
پیدائش:
یونس ؔ ؔفریدی۴ اگست ۱۹۵۵ء بروز جمعرات شہرِ فریدؒ(پاکپتن شریف) کے محلہ ’’غلہ منڈی‘‘میں پیدا ہوئے۔ان کے والد کا نام چودھری ولی محمدہے۔ایک معزز آرائیں گھرانے سے تعلق رکھتے ہیں۔
شروع شروع میں ان کا نام’’محمد اصغر‘‘ رکھا گیا اور بلدیہ میں بھی اسی نام کا اندراج کروایا گیا۔ بعد میں سرداراں بی بی (پھوپھی) نے نام محمد یونس رکھا جو آج تک ان کی پہچان کا باعث ہے اور اسی نام سے پکارے جاتے ہیں۔(۱)
پھر بعد میں حضرت بابا فرید الدین مسعود گنج شکر رحمتہ اللہ علیہ کے ساتھ دلی عقیدت اور نسبت کے باعث نام کے ساتھ ’’فریدی‘‘ لکھنا شروع کیا۔یونسؔ فریدی اس بارے میں کہتے ہیں:
’’اپنے نام کے ساتھ فریدی میں نے خود ہی لکھنا شروع کردیا تھا۔ میرے ایک استادِ گرامی! نے پوچھا فریدی کے کیا معنی ہیں؟ اور تم نے کیوں لگایا ہے اپنے نام کے ساتھ؟ میں نے عرض کی جناب معنی تو مجھے نہیں معلوم لیکن مجھے یہ اچھا لگتا ہے۔سو میں نے لگا دیا۔ اور پھر بعد میں جب میرے شعور کی آنکھ کھلی تو میرا رجحان تصوف کی طرف ہو گیا۔ اور حضرت بابا فرید رحمتہ اللہ علیہ سے دلی عقیدت ہو گئی جو آج بھی ہے۔ اب تو مکمل فریدی ہو گیا ہوں۔ہاں بچپن میں اپنے والدِ گرامی کے ساتھ دربار شریف حاضری دیا کرتا تھا۔‘‘(۲)
یونس اپنے نام کے ساتھ فریدی لکھے بغیر اپنے نام کو ادھورا سمجھتے ہیں اور نام کے ساتھ فریدی لکھنا فخر محسوس کرتے ہیں۔یعنی محمد یونس سے تب سے اب تک محمد یونس ؔفریدی لکھنا اپنی اصل پہچان کا باعث سمجھتے ہیں۔
خاندانی پس ِ منظر:
جب یونس ؔ ؔفریدی کے شعور کی آنکھ کھلی تو وہ دیکھتے ہیں کہ ان...

توضیح اصطلاحات فقہیہ: بذل المجہود کا مطالعہ و تجزیہ

Istilahat-e-fiqhia (Juristic terms) is of vital importance in understanding the exact meaning of the Islamic injunctions. Hadith Commentators, therefore, in their Hadith commentaries, ardently explain these terms literally as well as idiomatically. The present article, with the said perspective, studies Bazl al-Majhud fi Hall Sunan Abi Dawud, a multi-voluminous Arabic commentary of classical hadith corps Sunan Abi Dawud by renowned hadith scholar Moulana Khalil Ahmad Saharanpuri. It discovers that Moulana Saharanpuri elucidates the juristic terms with all the methods adopted by the experts of Ilm Lughat, Ilm Gharib al-Hadith, etc. He, in his elucidation, not only gives the inquiries of the experts but also evaluates them and gives his observations. However in some places he just copies the experts and doesn’t comment.

Synthesis of New Thiazolopyrimidine, Pyrazole, Stilbene-Triazine Derivatives and Tropane Auxiliary

This research work describes the synthesis and characterizationof some novel thiazolopyrimidine,pyrazole, stilbene-triazine derivatives and that of a tropane auxiliary. The in vitro and in silico studiesof synthesized compounds were also carried out. § Synthesis of thiazolopyrimidine derivatives (56-67) was carried out by one-pot multicomponent acid-catalyzed reaction of ethylacetoacetate and 2-aminothiazole and benzaldehyde substituted with electron-donating and electron-withdrawing groups with the aim to find some more potent antidiabetic and antibacterial drugs. An in vitro antidiabetic effect was evaluated in adult male BALB/c mice and antibacterial activities were tested against Gram positive and Gram negative bacteria. Some of the tested compounds proved to possess good to excellent activities compared to the reference drugs. An in silico molecular docking was also performed on synthesized compounds. The current study is expected to provide useful insights into the designof antidiabetic and antibacterial drugs and understanding the mechanism by which such drugs interact with RNA and diabetes target and exert their biochemical action. § A series of phenylhydrazono-3-methyl-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-5(4H)-one derivatives (68-91)were conveniently synthesizedby the reaction of different anilines with ethylacetoacetate or acetylacetonefollowed by treatment with phenyl hydrazine. § Synthesis of pyrazole carboxamide derivatives (92-101) was carried out by multistep pathway starting from the reaction of substituted anilines and diethylmalonate. The resulting intermediate was then treated with benzaldehyde to afford ethyl 3-phenyl-2-(phenylcarbamoyl)acrylate which was converted to pyrazole derivatives by reacting with hydrazine hydrate.In vitro antidiabetic studies showed thatsome compounds possess better activities than the reference drugs and thederivative (94) having 2,4-dichloro substituents on phenyl ring was found to be most potent compound and was identified as the lead molecule for furtherstructural modifications. § A series of new optical brighteners (102-113)were efficiently synthesized by a facile three-step approach. 2,4,6-Trichloro-1,3,5-triazine was treated with different anilines and the resulting dichlorotriazinyl intermediates were further condensed with 4,4´-diaminostilbene-2,2´-disulfonic acid followed by nucleophilic substitution with ethanolamine to furnish new hybrid brighteners. UV/Visible absorptions were determined using freshly-prepared solutions in deionized water. The synthesized optical brighteners were also assessed for their efficacy as fluorescent brightening agents. § Synthesis of new thiourea-based bis-monochlorotriazine optical brighteners (114-125)was effected out by multistep synthetic pathway in good yields. § An efficient synthesis of some thioureas (126-145) was also accomplished.Substituted benzoyl chlorides were reacted with potassium thiocyanate to give the corresponding isothiocyantes intermediates, which on addition of separately-synthesized amino-2,4,6-triphenylpyridine, afforded thiourea derivatives in good yields. § In order to synthesize the enantio-pure α-alkylated aldehydes (which are widely recognized as important building blocks in asymmetric induction) from tropane-derived enamine, a highly efficient asymmetric multistep synthesis of a tropane auxiliary (153)was developed. § All the synthesized compounds were characterized on the basis of their physiochemical parameters and spectral data.
